A small planing watercraft includes: a body; a seat located above the body; a steering handle located above the body and forward of the seat; and an additional part holding mount secured to the handle and disposed forward of a rear surface of the handle.

Small planing watercraft

A personal watercraft includes a watercraft body including: a center elongated protrusion located at a center of the watercraft body in a left-right direction, extending in a front-rear direction, and having an upwardly convex cross-sectional shape; a drainage channel outward of and adjacent to the center elongated protrusion in the left-right direction, lying along the center elongated protrusion in the front-rear direction, extending rearward and outward in the left-right direction, and having a downwardly convex cross-sectional shape; and an outside elongated protrusion outward of and adjacent to the drainage channel in the left-right direction, lying along the drainage channel in the front-rear direction, having an upwardly convex cross-sectional shape, and facing the drainage channel from outside in the left-right direction.

Personal watercraft

A small watercraft system includes: a watercraft body; a watercraft body manipulation member through which a watercraft body manipulation command is input by an operator; a drive source that allows the watercraft body to plane; a steering device that allows the watercraft body to be steered; and a control device that controls the drive source and the steering device to operate the watercraft body. The control device determines whether a mode switching condition is satisfied, the mode switching condition including an operator's absence condition that the operator is absent from the watercraft body. Upon determining that the mode switching condition is satisfied, the control device executes an operator-absent manipulation mode in which the control device moves the watercraft body by controlling the drive source and the steering device based on an operator-absent manipulation command independent of the watercraft body manipulation command.

Small watercraft system and method of controlling small watercraft

A personal watercraft includes a watercraft body including a deck. The deck includes a side-opening storage recessed inward to accommodate items. The side-opening storage has an opening facing outward in a width direction of the watercraft body.

A small planing watercraft with an imaging device includes: the imaging device incorporated in the small planing watercraft, and capturing an image of surroundings of the small planing watercraft; and a display device incorporated in the small planing watercraft at a location where the display device is recognizable by an operator of the small planing watercraft, and displaying the image of surroundings captured by the imaging device.

Small planing watercraft with imaging device

A personal watercraft includes: a watercraft body; a handle located above the watercraft body; a seat assembly including at least one straddle seat located rearward of the handle; and at least one mounting adjuster configured to mount the straddle seat on the watercraft body and allow the straddle seat to be positionable on the watercraft body in a plurality of mounting positions arranged in a front-rear direction.

A personal watercraft includes: a watercraft body including a cargo-carrying surface; and at least one anchor rail mounted on the watercraft body, the anchor rail being adjacent to the cargo-carrying surface and exposed to an environment outside the watercraft body.

A personal watercraft includes: a watercraft body including a hull and a deck covering an upper portion of the hull; a light emitter supported by the watercraft body; and a protection cover covering the light emitter and permeable to light emitted by the light emitter, wherein the watercraft body includes a flow-regulating structure, and the flow-regulating structure includes: a fluid inlet through which an external fluid enters the watercraft body; and an upper flow-regulating wall and a lower flow-regulating wall that are opposed to each other in an up-down direction, the upper and lower flow-regulating walls being located between the fluid inlet and the protection cover to regulate flow of the fluid entering the watercraft body through the fluid inlet and moving toward the protection cover.

An instrument panel for a leisure vehicle includes a display including a first region including a central part of the display, the first region being configured to display a predetermined image set by a user or a video from a camera installed in the vehicle. The display also includes a second region including at least a part of a peripheral part of the display, the second region being configured to display travelling information indicating a travelling condition.

Instrument panel for leisure vehicle

A personal watercraft includes: a watercraft body including an internal accommodation space and a front portion provided with an opening through which the accommodation space is open upward, the watercraft body further including a baffle portion and a recessed portion, the baffle portion being spaced at least forward from a peripheral portion of the opening and projecting upward, the recessed portion being formed between the peripheral portion and the baffle portion; a hatch cover including a closing portion and an overhanging portion extending at least forward from the closing portion to cover the recessed portion and the baffle portion; a first sealing member configured to seal a gap between the peripheral portion of the opening and the hatch cover when the hatch cover is in a closed state; and a second sealing member configured to seal a gap between the overhanging portion and the baffle portion.

A personal watercraft comprises a body including a deck; and a seat disposed on the deck at a location that is forward of a rear end of the deck. The deck includes a depressed part formed by depressing a portion of the deck which is rearward of the seat. The depressed part includes a bottom wall surface extending in a forward and rearward direction and in a rightward and leftward direction.

A personal watercraft comprises a body including a deck; and a seat disposed on the deck at a location that is forward of a rear end of the deck, wherein the deck includes a deck floor extending in a forward and rearward direction and in a rightward and leftward direction, at a location that is lateral of the seat, and wherein when viewed from a side, inclined parts which are inclined in an upward direction from a front to a rear, are provided in regions of the deck floor, the regions vertically overlapping with a portion of the seat, the portion being rearward of a center of the seat in the forward and rearward direction.

A personal watercraft comprises a handle which is operated by a rider to steer a body of the personal watercraft; a steering shaft connecting the handle to the body; and a holder capable of holding a drink bottle, and a separating wall with a height larger than a height of an edge of the holder is provided between the steering shaft and the holder.

A personal watercraft includes a recess formed in a deck and a lid member having a mesh-like appearance and made of elastic members crossing each other, wherein the lid member is removably attached to cover an opening of the recess. The recess is formed in a seat supporting section configured to support a seat for an operator to sit during an operation.

A personal watercraft comprises a body including a seat support section in which a storage is accommodated; a front seat which is mountable on the seat support section; a rear seat which covers the storage in a state in which the rear seat is secured onto the seat support section; an opening/closing mechanism including a pivot section provided at a front end portion of the rear seat and opens and closes the rear seat and a slider section which guides the pivot section and slides the rear seat in a rearward direction. In a closed state in which the front seat and the rear seat are secured onto the seat support section, a rear end of the front seat is located rearward of and above a front end of the rear seat, and the pivot section is located below and forward of the rear end of the front seat.
